Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Investing in all risky assets requires discipline, as they all go through long periods of time where they dramatically underperform. This is certainly true of emerging markets. For example, emerging market equities have substantially underperformed the S&P 500 Index in 2018, with the S&P 500 up 6.5% and emerging markets down 4.4% through July.
